33. Leaving Behind · 遯 九三
Line 3 of hexagram 33
In practice
If, just as you're leaving something behind, you still let circumstances tempt you to stay, you'll need to find allies to make even a little progress.
The poetry
A tethered retreat. There is sickness, danger. Keeping servants and maids: good fortune.
九三：係遯，有疾厲，畜臣妾吉。
象曰：係遯之厲，有疾憊也。畜臣妾吉，不可大事也。
